nusayba read her first 3 words on thursday, march 26th! it was so exciting--for me of course:) we've been playing with letters and words for a while, but to see her grasp the concept and try to pronounce was so beautiful:)
the words were "blue", "red", and "green". since then she's been trying to pronounce words like cat, hat, hot, etc... but what's really amazing is that when she sees any words (on the diaper box, street signs, even the word "toyota" on our van) she now realizes that the letters makeup a word and the word can be read so she stops and takes a shot at it.
'Alaa is now on my case that i should be teaching her Arabic, but i have a feeling that once she really grasps the concept it'll be much easier to teach her to read in Arabic. It's not like English..like, why would there be a "k" in the word nife? :)
